Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A display comprising: a display substrate comprising a front side; a plurality of pixels located on the front side of the display substrate, the plurality of pixels defining a display area; an antenna array comprising a plurality of antennas located on the front side of the display substrate and within the display area; and circuitry to process a communication received via the antenna array, wherein the circuitry is located on the front side of the display substrate and within the display area.
2. The display of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of an antenna of the plurality of antennas is located between a plurality of display elements of a first pixel and a plurality of display elements of a second pixel, wherein the first pixel is directly adjacent to the second pixel.
3. The display of claim 1 , wherein adjacent antennas of a first set of three or more antennas of the plurality of antennas are separated by a common pitch in a particular direction.
4. The display of claim 3 , wherein the common pitch is a multiple of a pitch length between directly adjacent pixels of the plurality of pixels.
5. The display of claim 1 , the display further comprising circuitry to selectively activate a subset of the plurality of antennas based on a selected antenna configuration.
6. The display of claim 5 , wherein the selected antenna configuration is based on a plurality of detected touches of the display.
7. The display of claim 5 , wherein the selected antenna configuration is based on an orientation of the display.
8. The display of claim 5 , wherein the selected antenna configuration is based on one or more of a battery charge level and a thermal condition.
9. The display of claim 5 , wherein the selected antenna configuration is based on data sensed by one or more specific absorption rate sensors of the display.
10. The display of claim 1 wherein the display further comprises one or more media processing components on the display substrate and within the display area, the one or more media processing components to decode a video stream received wirelessly via the antenna array and to provide the decoded video stream to a display driver for display within the display area.
11. The display of claim 10 , wherein the one or more media processing components within the display area are to demultiplex an audio stream and the video stream from a multimedia stream comprising the video stream prior to decoding the video stream.
12. The display of claim 1 , wherein the display is to comprise an interface to communicate data received wirelessly via the antenna to a processor coupled to the display, and wherein the processor is to request offloading to the display of playback of video data received wirelessly via the antenna such that the processor does not process the video data received wirelessly via the antenna.
13. A method comprising: receiving a wireless communication via an antenna array comprising a plurality of antennas located on a front side of a display substrate and within a display area, wherein the display area is defined by a plurality of pixels located on the front side of the display substrate; and processing, via circuitry located on the front side of the display substrate and within the display area, a communication received via the antenna array.
14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising activating a subset of the plurality of antennas and deactivating any antennas of the plurality of antennas that are not in the subset based on a selected antenna configuration.
15. The method of claim 13 , further comprising: decoding, by one or more media processing components located on the display substrate and within the display area, a video stream received wirelessly via the antenna array; and providing the decoded video stream to a display driver for display within the display area.
16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising demultiplexing, by the one or more media processing components located on the display substrate, an audio stream and the video stream from a multimedia stream comprising the video stream prior to decoding the video stream.
17. A system comprising: a display comprising: a display substrate comprising a front side; a plurality of pixels located on the front side of the display substrate, the plurality of pixels defining a display area; an antenna array comprising a plurality of antennas located on the front side of the display substrate and within the display area; and circuitry to process a communication received via the antenna array, wherein the circuitry is located on the front side of the display substrate and within the display area; and a processor to communicatively couple to the display.
18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the processor is to: detect an identifier of a multimedia stream to be communicated over the antenna array; and responsive to the detection of the identifier, instruct the display to decode the multimedia stream at the display.
19. The system of claim 18 , the display further comprising one or more media processing components located on the display substrate and within the display area, the one or more media processing components to decode a video stream of the multimedia.
20. The system of claim 17 , wherein the processor is to: determine an antenna configuration based on sensor data from one or more sensors, the antenna configuration specifying activation of a subset of the plurality of antennas and deactivation of any antennas of the plurality of antennas that are not in the subset; and communicate the antenna configuration to the display.
